Jorge,

Since dbmail is a forking server, the child processes will be assigned to one of
your processors. The CPU load from the forked children should be spread pretty
evenly between both cpus. That is a kernel job.

When one single process is using a lot of cpu cycles, that load is limited to
the CPU that process was originally assigned to.
